BackendV2Converter

class qiskit.providers.BackendV2Converter(backend, name_mapping=None, add_delay=False, filter_faulty=False)

Bases: BackendV2

A converter class that takes a BackendV1 instance and wraps it in a BackendV2 interface.

This class implements the BackendV2 interface and is used to enable common access patterns between BackendV1 and BackendV2. This class should only be used if you need a BackendV2 and still need compatibility with BackendV1.

When using custom calibrations (or other custom workflows) it is not recommended to mutate the BackendV1 object before applying this converter. For example, in order to convert a BackendV1 object with a customized defaults().instruction_schedule_map, which has a custom calibration for an operation, the operation name must be in configuration().basis_gates and name_mapping must be supplied for the operation. Otherwise, the operation will be dropped in the resulting BackendV2 object.

Instead it is typically better to add custom calibrations after applying this converter instead of updating BackendV1.defaults() in advance. For example:

backend_v2 = BackendV2Converter(backend_v1)
backend_v2.target.add_instruction(
    custom_gate, {(0, 1): InstructionProperties(calibration=custom_sched)}
)

Initialize a BackendV2 converter instance based on a BackendV1 instance.

Parámetros:

• backend (BackendV1) – The input BackendV1 based backend to wrap in a BackendV2 interface

• name_mapping (Optional[Dict[str, Any]]) – An optional dictionary that maps custom gate/operation names in backend to an Operation object representing that gate/operation. By default most standard gates names are mapped to the standard gate object from qiskit.circuit.library this only needs to be specified if the input backend defines gates in names outside that set.

• add_delay (bool) – If set to true a Delay operation will be added to the target as a supported operation for all qubits

• filter_faulty (bool) – If the BackendProperties object (if present) for backend has any qubits or gates flagged as non-operational filter those from the output target.

Attributes

coupling_map

Return the CouplingMap object

dt

Return the system time resolution of input signals

This is required to be implemented if the backend supports Pulse scheduling.

Devuelve:

The input signal timestep in seconds. If the backend doesn’t define dt None will be returned

Tipo del valor devuelto:

dt

dtm

instruction_durations

Return the InstructionDurations object.

instruction_schedule_map

Return the InstructionScheduleMap for the instructions defined in this backend’s target.

instructions

A list of Instruction tuples on the backend of the form (instruction, (qubits)

max_circuits

meas_map

num_qubits

Return the number of qubits the backend has.

operation_names

A list of instruction names that the backend supports.

operations

A list of Instruction instances that the backend supports.

options

Return the options for the backend

The options of a backend are the dynamic parameters defining how the backend is used. These are used to control the run() method.

provider

Return the backend Provider.

Devuelve:

the Provider responsible for the backend.

Tipo del valor devuelto:

Provider

target

A qiskit.transpiler.Target object for the backend.

Tipo del valor devuelto:

Methods

acquire_channel(qubit)

Return the acquisition channel for the given qubit.

This is required to be implemented if the backend supports Pulse scheduling.

Devuelve:

The Qubit measurement acquisition line.

Tipo del valor devuelto:

AcquireChannel

Muestra:

NotImplementedError – if the backend doesn’t support querying the measurement mapping

control_channel(qubits)

Return the secondary drive channel for the given qubit

This is typically utilized for controlling multiqubit interactions. This channel is derived from other channels.

This is required to be implemented if the backend supports Pulse scheduling.

Parámetros:

qubits (Iterable[int]) – Tuple or list of qubits of the form (control_qubit, target_qubit).

Devuelve:

The multi qubit control line.

Tipo del valor devuelto:

List[ControlChannel]

Muestra:

NotImplementedError – if the backend doesn’t support querying the measurement mapping

drive_channel(qubit)

Return the drive channel for the given qubit.

This is required to be implemented if the backend supports Pulse scheduling.

Devuelve:

The Qubit drive channel

Tipo del valor devuelto:

DriveChannel

Muestra:

NotImplementedError – if the backend doesn’t support querying the measurement mapping

measure_channel(qubit)

Return the measure stimulus channel for the given qubit.

This is required to be implemented if the backend supports Pulse scheduling.

Devuelve:

The Qubit measurement stimulus line

Tipo del valor devuelto:

MeasureChannel

Muestra:

NotImplementedError – if the backend doesn’t support querying the measurement mapping

qubit_properties(qubit)

Return QubitProperties for a given qubit.

If there are no defined or the backend doesn’t support querying these details this method does not need to be implemented.

Parámetros:

qubit (int | List[int]) – The qubit to get the QubitProperties object for. This can be a single integer for 1 qubit or a list of qubits and a list of QubitProperties objects will be returned in the same order

Devuelve:

The QubitProperties object for the specified qubit. If a list of qubits is provided a list will be returned. If properties are missing for a qubit this can be None.

Tipo del valor devuelto:

qubit_properties

Muestra:

NotImplementedError – if the backend doesn’t support querying the qubit properties

run(run_input, **options)

Run on the backend.

This method returns a Job object that runs circuits. Depending on the backend this may be either an async or sync call. It is at the discretion of the provider to decide whether running should block until the execution is finished or not: the Job class can handle either situation.

Parámetros:

• run_input (QuantumCircuit or Schedule or ScheduleBlock or list) – An individual or a list of ScheduleBlock, or Schedule objects to run on the backend.

• options – Any kwarg options to pass to the backend for running the config. If a key is also present in the options attribute/object then the expectation is that the value specified will be used instead of what’s set in the options object.

Devuelve:

The job object for the run

Tipo del valor devuelto:

Job

set_options(**fields)

Set the options fields for the backend

This method is used to update the options of a backend. If you need to change any of the options prior to running just pass in the kwarg with the new value for the options.

Parámetros:

fields – The fields to update the options

Muestra:

AttributeError – If the field passed in is not part of the options
